El Rancho Viejo #1 holds a C+ grade and scores better than about half of similar restaurants in the area, placing it in the middle range. The facility shows a persistent problem with inadequate hand washing facilities, which has appeared in three of the last six inspections spanning from July 2023 through June 2025. While the restaurant passed clean inspections in November 2023 and March 2024, violations have returned in subsequent checks, with June 2025 also bringing issues related to warewashing equipment and food contact surfaces. The pattern suggests recurring compliance challenges rather than sustained improvement, though the facility has not triggered a mandatory closure.
